Objectives

By the end of this lab, you will: 1. Load and analyze the Lightcast dataset in Spark DataFrame. 2. Create five easy and three medium-complexity visualizations using Plotly. 3. Explore salary distributions, employment trends, and job postings. 4. Analyze skills in relation to NAICS/SOC/ONET codes and salaries. 5. Customize colors, fonts, and styles in all visualizations (default themes result in a 2.5-point deduction). 6. Follow best practices for reporting on data communication.

Step 1: Load the Dataset

Code
from IPython.display import HTML
from plotly.io import to_html
Code
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.io as pio
pio.renderers.default = "vscode"
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.functions import col


# Initialize Spark Session
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("LightcastData").getOrCreate()

# Load Data
df = spark.read.option("header", "true").option("inferSchema", "true").option("multiLine","true").option("escape", "\"").csv("./lightcast_job_postings.csv")

# Show Schema and Sample Data
df.printSchema()
df.show(5)

1 Salary Distribution by Employment Type

  • Identify salary trends across different employment types.
  • Filter the dataset
    • Remove records where salary is missing or zero.
  • Aggregate Data
    • Group by employment type and compute salary distribution.
  • Visualize results
    • Create a box plot where:
      • X-axis = EMPLOYMENT_TYPE_NAME
      • Y-axis = SALARY_FROM
    • Customize colors, fonts, and styles to avoid a 2.5-point deduction.
  • Explanation: Write two sentences about what the graph reveals.
Code

    xaxis_title="Job Title",
    yaxis_title="Number of Postings",
    xaxis_tickangle=-45
)

HTML(to_html(fig, include_plotlyjs='cdn'))
                                                                                

The chart shows that Data Analyst is the most frequently posted job title, with more than double the postings compared to other roles—highlighting the strong demand for data professionals. In contrast, Data Quality Analyst appears the least among the top 10, suggesting it is a more specialized or less commonly advertised role.

    • Apply custom colors and font styles.
  • Explanation: Write two sentences about what the graph reveals.
Code
# Group by REMOTE_TYPE_NAME and count job postings
remote_counts = df.groupBy("REMOTE_TYPE_NAME") \
                  .agg(count("*").alias("JOB_COUNT"))

# Convert to Pandas for visualization
pdf = pd.DataFrame(
    remote_counts.collect(),
    columns=["REMOTE_TYPE_NAME", "JOB_COUNT"]
)

# Create pie chart
fig = px.pie(
    pdf,
    names="REMOTE_TYPE_NAME",
    values="JOB_COUNT",
    title="Proportion of Remote vs On-site Job Postings",

)

# Customize styles
fig.update_layout(
    font_family="Arial",
    title_font_size=18,
    legend_title="Remote Type"
)

HTML(to_html(fig, include_plotlyjs='cdn'))
                                                                                

The pie chart reveals that a majority of job postings (78%) are for on-site positions, while remote roles make up 17.2%, and hybrid opportunities account for only 1.55%. This suggests that despite the growth of remote work trends, many employers still prioritize in-person collaboration—possibly due to the nature of the industry, security requirements, or company culture.
